No SAS isn’t an issue in RB and the all ATGMs on a Heli become SACLOS, even the U.S event heli with a Bullpup. Allouette/Scout are easily among the best starter Helis as you can just splash them in a lineup grind free for (relatively) effective CAS (it’s the same BR as an F-84F with 4 2,000lb bombs and CCIP).
The Italian and Japanese Huey are among the worst starter Helis, with a special mention to the Swedish Huey, it’s 2km range ATGMs that a paraplegic could outrun and the Mi-4 for being an underpowered whale.
AH-6M gets 114K Hellfires, which put’s it at 10.0+ autodeath to 2S38s, the Israeli Lahatut gets TOWs but much less rockets. Rocket Rushing in general is just a terrible way to earn anything, everyone is so aversed to it; almost no one realised it was possible to spawn the AH-1W with Zunis at the start of a game within the first few weeks of its release. Everyone cries about the Ka-50 being survivable yet the last 3 times I’ve shot them with APFSDS they’ve instantly exploded.
As for the AH-1G, was fun in Heli PvE, can’t imagine applying my face to TURM IIIs ad nauseum to maybe unlock the UH-1 in 5,000 games.
